Speed warning
Principle
The speed warning can be used to set a speed
limit. A warning will be issued when this speed
limit is exceeded.

General information
Another warning occurs when the set speed
limit is exceeded again after it has dropped by
3 mph/5 km/h.

Operation
Turning on the speed limiter
Press the rocker switch up or down repeatedly
until the desired speed limit is set.
Press the button on the steering wheel.
▷
Each time the rocker switch is pressed
to the resistance point, the speed limit in-
creases or decreases by 1 mph/1 km/h.
The current speed is adopted as the speed
limit.
▷
Each time the rocker switch is pressed
past the resistance point, the desired speed
changes by a maximum of 5 mph/10 km/h.
If the system is turned on while the vehi-
cle is stationary or driving at low speeds,
20 mph/30 km/h is set as the speed limit.
If the set speed limit is reached or unintention-
ally exceeded such as when driving downhill,
the vehicle is not actively braked.
The marking in the speedometer is set to the
corresponding speed.
When the speed limit is activated, Dynamic
Stability Control is switched on and the vehicle
may change to COMFORT drive mode.
When the speed limit is set during a trip to
a value below the current speed, the vehicle
coasts until it drops to the set speed limit.
The current speed can also be stored by
pressing a button:

Principle
With the Cruise Control, a set speed can be ad-
justed using the buttons on the steering wheel.
The system maintains the set speed. The sys-
tem accelerates and brakes automatically as
needed.
Acoustic warning
▷
If the speed limit is exceeded unintention-
ally, a signal sounds.
General information
The system can be activated starting at
20 mph/30 km/h.
▷
When the speed limit is reduced to be-
low the current vehicle speed, the signal
sounds after some time.
Depending on the vehicle setting, the cruise
control settings may change under certain
conditions. For instance, acceleration can
change depending on the driving mode.

When the speed limit is intentionally ex-
ceeded by stepping on the accelerator
pedal all the way down, there is no signal.

Driver assistance systems
CONTROLS
If a vehicle is driving ahead of you, the system
adjusts the speed of the vehicle so that the set
distance to the vehicle ahead is maintained.
The speed is adjusted as far as the given sit-
uation allows.
▷
▷
Set the parking brake.
On uphill grades or on downhill slopes,
turn the front wheels in the direction of
the curb.
▷
On uphill grades or on downhill slopes,
also secure the vehicle, for instance with
a wheel chock.
The distance can be adjusted at several levels.
For safety reasons, it depends on the respec-
tive speed.
If the vehicle ahead of you brakes to a stand-
still and then drives off again within a brief pe-
riod, the system is able to detect this within the
given system limits.
Warning
The set speed can be incorrectly adjusted
or called up by mistake. There is a risk of
accident. Adjust the set speed to the traffic
conditions. Watch surrounding traffic closely
and actively intervene where appropriate.
Otherwise, drive off on your own such as by
pressing the accelerator pedal or the rocker
switch on the steering wheel.
Depending on the vehicle setting, the cruise
control settings may change under certain
conditions. For instance, acceleration can
change depending on the driving mode.
Warning
Risk of accident is greater when there is a
high speed differential to other vehicles, for
instance in the following situations:

Detection range
Cornering
The detection capability of the system and the
automatic braking performance are limited.
For instance, two-wheeled vehicles may not be
detected.
When the set speed is too high for a curve,
the speed is reduced slightly. Because curves
may not be anticipated in advance, drive into a
curve at an appropriate speed.
Deceleration
The system does not decelerate in the follow-
ing situations:
▷
For pedestrians or similarly slow-moving
road users.
The system has a limited detection range. Sit-
uations can arise in tight curves where a vehi-
cle driving ahead will not be detected or will be
detected very late.
▷
Depending on the vehicle equipment and
national availability, for red traffic lights.
▷
▷
For cross traffic.
For oncoming traffic.
Merging vehicles
When you approach a curve the system may
briefly report vehicles in the next lane due
to the bend of the curve. If the system decel-
erates you may compensate for it by briefly
accelerating. After releasing the accelerator
pedal the system is reactivated and controls
speed independently.
If a vehicle driving ahead of you suddenly
merges into your lane, the system may not be
able to automatically restore the selected dis-
tance. It may not be possible to restore the se-
lected distance in certain situations, including if
you are driving significantly faster than vehicles

The set speed is also maintained downhill. The
speed may not be maintained on uphill grades
if the drive power is insufficient.
Warning
The set speed can be incorrectly adjusted
